· Love Message Sugar Cookies – Stumbled across the recipe for these great, and one of a kind cookies, and thought of a great way to spice it up! These cookies are special because they have a sugar window in the middle of them. Add a lovely message in the “glass” window pane of the cookies! Also, you can add eSutras Organics Berry Limone Sugar to give the cookies a fruity taste, and adorable red Valentine’s themed sugar coating! (Add the special message on edible sugar paper!)

· Cream-Cheese Lavender Honey Frosted Cupcakes – This recipe was introduced to me by one of our baking enthusiast staffers! It’s not quite Valentine’s Day themed, but you can alter the recipe with red food coloring to give it a more of the holiday traditional themes or red or pink coloring. I’ve personally tried this pastry and it’s too die for! Add eSutras Organics Lavender Sugar to really bring out the sweet and aromatic lavender taste! A unique take on classic Valentine’s Day delicacies!

· Chocolate Truffles – A classic and tasty dish made special and unparalled! Truffles are universally known as a decadent and romantic pastry; give them even more mouth watering appeal by adding eSutras Organics Cocoa Sugar to the mix! Sprinkle a small amount on top of each truffle and watch then be devoured wish relish! Substitute the regular old chocolate chips in the recipe for eSutras Organics Semi-Sweet Vegan Chocolate Chips and turn a super rich treat into a more organic and health friendly Valentine’s Day surprise!
